This is what I put on when I feel like I need to wear actual clothes while working. I snagged this sweater from Lydia when she didn't want it anymore and find myself throwing it on all the time. It's perfect for those overcast days where you need to brighten up your day. I also love the unique knitting style, not your usual cable knit!
These Luxe Me Now slippers (first seen here) have barely left my feet since they arrived in the mail last month. Since they can be worn indoors and outdoors I've been leaving them on when I go to my parents for dinner, which I do a couple days a week. What can I say? They are a mile away and it saves me money on groceries! Plus, they all miss me so I have to bug them every once in a while.
Enjoy some bonus pictures with Layla! Was pulling double duty while taking these pictures.

Wolford gifted the tights featured in this post, but all opinions are my own.
It's that time of year again: tights season! These tights Wolford sent arrived just in time for the cold weather we experienced last weekend. I have a love/hate relationship with tights. I love how they make my legs look, but hate when they aren't "just right."
What I look for in a pair of tights: 1. Comfort; if they are too tight I get a stomach-ache, NOT fun. 2. Durability; rips and tears on their first wear is the worst. and 3. Opacity; I personally don't like a super sheer tight.
I received the Merino Tights and they're super soft. So far they pass the comfort and opacity tests! I can't vouch for their durability just yet, but so far so good! They have a reinforced toe, sole and heel so I have high hopes. I will definitely be wearing these a lot through the holiday season.
At $69 they are a bit of a splurge, BUT I have to say I can really see the upgrade in quality from my other tights. I would definitely recommend Wolford if you're looking for a really high quality tight that's sure to last for years to come. They even have cashmere tights, yes, you read that right: CASHMERE. Pure luxury for your legs! They also carry bodysuits, dresses and so much more, be sure to check out their entire selection.
Also, if you own a pair of Wolford tights, be sure to enter their #UpdateYourLegs Facebook contest. And don't forget to keep up with them on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest!

When it rains, all I want to do is wrap up in a blanket on the couch and watch movies. But on this rainy day my mom, sister and I decided to do a bit of shopping. Since it was yucky out, I took really quick pictures on the porch.

Capes. They rock! Especially this one because it's cashmere and was only $30! It has only made a few appearances on the blog, but I throw it on whenever I want to feel like I'm wrapped in a blanket. I'm rather enjoying how my hair looks in the last photo, too bad it doesn't do that all the time! That’s all there is to say today, rather short winded, I’m afraid.
EXCEPT: Notice something new?! On Wednesday I decided to finally give the blog a little upgrade. I finished customizing it that night but decided to actually update the theme last night to start fresh before the weekend! I got my theme from SoraTemplates (see the one I used here.) It wasn't exactly what I wanted, luckily my first job was in programming, so I made my own adjustments (and buttons for bloglovin, like to know it and fohr card)
What do you think? Let me know if there are any bugs.

Yes, another feature on jeans! What can I say, they're my Fall/Winter wardrobe staple. They can be dressed up or down, and worn to a variety of events. With that in mind, I've decided to style a pair of NYDJ slimming jeans in three different ways. Read on to see how I would wear jeans on a super casual day, to work and a night out.
NYDJ is “The Original Slimming Fit” jean. What does that mean? Well: Their exclusive Lift Tuck Technology is designed to make you look and feel a size smaller. A patented criss-cross panel helps flatten in the front, while lifting and smoothing in the back. Every pair of NYDJs is made to fit exactly the same from the hips through the thighs. Their universal fit makes it simple to get the same flattering fit in every pair you choose - no matter what style. So whether you are buying wide leg jeans or trouser jeans, you'll feel slimmer while being super comfortable. P.S. With these jeans, they recommend buying a size smaller than you normally would! How is that for a confidence boost?
When it comes to jeans (for me), it's the skinnier, the better. That being said, the Ami Super Skinny Knit Jean is right up my alley! It is their slimmest silhouette and is also 90% cotton, which means they are going to be uber comfortable!
First up, our casual look! This is what I would wear on a chilly weekend day. Just throw on a cute pair of flats and a super over-sized sweater (with pockets!!), then you're good to go! You could also add a fun statement necklace or bracelets if you need to run out for errands. Although even without jewelry I would be happy to go anywhere in this outfit.
Next up is a work-appropriate office look for those of us lucky enough to be able to wear jeans to work. The key here is to elevate the jeans with your other pieces. Start with a pair of heels, not too high, to instantly take them from hanging out to professional. Then finish off with a button down and smart blazer!
For a night out, the higher the heel, the better! But you don't want them so high that you can't walk, so tread lightly. If you're headed to a bar it's probably going to be hot, so you want a flowy top with a bit of sex appeal. And you can always stash a sweater or jacket somewhere in case things get chilly. I couldn't decide between two tops, so I've shown both! One is off the shoulder, the other is a barely there embellished camisole.
